Heavily armed insurgents who seized the strategic port of Mocimboa da Praia, about 90km away from the commercial gas projects in the Palma district, remain entrenched in the northern Cabo Delgado province of Mozambique

The Citizen Observatory for Health , a Mozambican NGO, earlier told the media that the closure of 37 health units in districts affected by armed violence in Cabo Delgado had left people there vulnerable.

“On the one hand, a group of citizens loses their lives because they have not managed to escape the attacks perpetrated by the rebels, on the other hand those who survive are at risk of losing their lives due to lack of access to the health system.” On Friday and through Saturday, the insurgents carried out yet another attack on Awassi. Sources who had to leave Mocimboa da Praia on Saturday said it was not possible to seek refuge in other districts, such as Montepuez. “We left Mocímboa to Nangade. The ‘Al-Shabaab’ started attacking Friday night in Awassi ... The bandits are still in Mocimboa, taking a walk by foot, driving cars, motorcycles and bicycles.

Crisanto Ntego, provincial director of the National Criminal Investigation Service in Cabo Delgado, earlier announced the arrest of a man with military equipment and assault rifles who was allegedly trying to infiltrate the city of Pemba.
